How to Use
Raking your Lawn
Raking the lawn helps aerate the soil, prevent diseases, it
also improves surface drainage and promotes a healthier
thicker lawn.
Moss
There are several types of mosses, which can cause
problems to your lawn. Moss as well as being detrimental
to the appearance of your lawn, will smother grass, make
the lawn spongy, make it difficult to mow, hold water and
encourage disease. Moss spores are released during
spring and autumn.
Thatch
Thatch is decaying organic matter that builds up on the
base of the lawn. Like moss thatch is detrimental to the
appearance of your lawn and can cause bad surface
drainage, encourage weeds, prevent air circulation and
encourage disease.

Adjusting the raking height
1. Lift the lever out of location and rotate to the desired
position. (E)
Heights of raking:-
1, 2, 3 - low
The low settings should be used to collect material from
the base of the lawn. This setting is ideal for removing
moss and thatch. After removing the thick patches of
moss and thatch the lawn may look bare in some
patches. These patches in the lawn will start to recover
now that the moss and thatch has been removed.
4, 5 - medium
The medium settings should be used for light raking. This
setting is ideal for lifting flattened grass prior to mowing
and for collecting grass cuttings after mowing. It can also
be used for light raking of moss and thatch.
6 - high
The high setting should be used for clearing the lawn.
This setting is ideal for collecting light debris such as
fallen leaves, twigs and grass cuttings without damaging
the lawn.
